Answer:

The trees and plant withstand rotting in tropical rain forest using some of these mechanisms.

Explanation:

Tropical rain forests are known for the presence of heavy rainfall, due to this, there might be a lot of water retention in the root. Some trees and plants however are able to store this water and use some of the below mentioned methods to prevent decay and rot.

Some trees in the tropical rain forest may produce very hard outer layer, these hard outer layer will protect the plant and trees form predators and microorganisms from penetrating into the inner tissues of the tree.

Some withstand rotting by producing chemical compounds, these chemical compounds prevents predators and microorganisms from destroying the plants and trees.

If the yellow mottle virus begins its infection of a cell by using its genome as mRNA, which of the following would you expect t

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

C) translation rate

Explanation:

The process of gene expression involves DNA transcription into mRNA and translation of mRNA into protein.

During transcription, genetic message in DNA is encoded into mRNA. The encoded messages are then translated into their respective amino acids during the process of translation.

Hence, if a virus uses its genome as mRNA, the next stage will be to translate the messages in the mRNA into amino acids. Translation rate is expected to be measurable.

The correct option is C.
